FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

        Certain information in this Form 10-KSB, including
planned expansions into new and existing markets and trends in
the operations of Thanksgiving Coffee Company, Inc. (the
"Company"), may be perceived to be forward looking statements.
Any such statements should be considered in light of various
risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ
materially from expectations, estimates or forecasts expressed.
The various risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to: changes in general economic conditions, changes in business
conditions in the coffee industry, fluctuations in consumer
demand for coffee products and in the availability and costs of
green coffee beans, increased competition within the Company's
businesses, variances from budgeted sales mix and growth rate,
consumer acceptance of the Company's new products, inability to
secure adequate capital to fund its operating expenses and
working capital requirements, inability to hire, train and retain
qualified personnel, concentration of production and sales in
Northern California, the loss of one or more major customers,
inability to successfully implement its business plan, natural
disasters, civil unrest in countries which produce coffee and
tea, weather and other risks identified herein.  The Company does
not undertake to update any forward looking statement that may be
made from time to time by or on its behalf.

GENERAL

        For more than twenty-five years, the Company has
purchased and roasted high quality coffee beans and marketed them
to the specialty coffee market.  The Company buys green coffee
beans through Sustainable Harvest, Inc.("Sustainable Harvest"), a
supplier of shade grown, arabica coffee beans which was a wholly-
owned subsidiary of the Company in fiscal 1997, and through six
main importers.  At the end of fiscal 1997, the Company sold
Sustainable Harvest and entered into an agreement to purchase
beans from Sustainable Harvest for five years commencing December
1997.  See "Green Bean Coffee Supply and Availability."

        The Company was incorporated as a California corporation
on May 10, 1982.  Prior to that time, the Company was operated as
a partnership.

        The Company retails over 100 varieties of its coffee and
tea through its own distribution system in the Northern
California market.  In other parts of the nation the Company
distributes either direct to retailers or through brokers and
distributors.  The Company also markets directly to consumers
through both the print and electronic media.  It publishes a mail
order catalogue which features most of the Company's coffee and


				4<PAGE>
tea products, in addition to complementary products and
accessories of third parties.  The same product offerings are
made on the Company's web site on the internet.   The Company
also markets its coffee and tea products in its retail bakery
(the "Bakery"), located in Mendocino, California.  At the end of
February 1998, the Company closed its retail coffee shop (the
"Cafe"), which had

previously marketed the Company's coffee and tea products.  The
Company sub-leases the Cafe premises to a third party.

        In October 1996, the Company completed its offering of
shares of Common Stock.  As of December 31, 1998, 1,323 non-
affiliated shareholders held shares of the Company's Common Stock
which represents approximately 19% of the outstanding shares.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

        It has been the philosophy of the Company to not only
provide an excellent cup of quality coffee but also procure,
roast, package and market its products in a fair manner to all
its customers and suppliers.  The Company's motto, "Not Just a
Cup, but a Just Cup,"(TM) reflects the Company's commitment to
local coffee growers in developing nations

        The clear cutting of the rain forests to provide land for
sun-grown coffee has destroyed the habitat of neo-tropical song
birds.  The Company provides cash rebates to the American Birding
Association (the "ABA") which supports the promotion of public
awareness of this destruction.  The Company provides a $0.15
rebate for every Song Bird coffee package and every pound of bulk
Song Bird coffee sold.

        The Company also contributes coffee, money and employee
time to a number of causes aligned with its commitment to social
and environmental responsibility.

PRODUCTS

        COFFEE.  The Company roasts a wide variety of whole bean
caffeinated, decaffeinated, flavored, blended and unblended
coffees.  With the exception of its high-caffeinated coffees, the
Company roasts only high quality arabica beans with a focus on
organics and shade grown beans.  Arabica beans are grown at high
altitudes where the cooler climate results in slow growth and
high quality.  Packages have been custom-designed for retailers'
particular products.  Currently, the Company is producing custom
products for the ABA under an exclusive ten-year contract and
private-label products for over 100 retail and serving accounts,
in addition to its full line of classic specialty and estate
coffees from over 20 countries.

        TEA.  The Company's Royal Gardens Tea Company ("Royal
Gardens") division currently offers eleven traditional teas from


				5<PAGE>
China, India, Sri Lanka and Japan.  Royal Gardens packages its
tea in gauze fabric bags which can expand to accommodate whole
leaf teas and allow proper infusion, unlike most teas which are
packaged in paper bags.  Since the ability of paper to expand on
immersion is limited compared to gauze fabric, paper tea bags
contain crushed leaves of often lower quality teas.  The Company
believes that Royal Gardens tea is the only tea product that is
packaged in fabric tea bags, and that this distinction is a
competitive advantage for the Company. Royal Gardens Tea Company
is a founding member of the American Premium Tea Institute.

        COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCTS.  The Company sells a wide variety
of complementary coffee and tea products and accessories, such as
coffee and espresso makers, grinders, thermal carafes, books, T-
shirts, mugs, CD's and chocolate covered espresso beans.  The
Company's complementary products are purchased in quantities for
its mail order catalog.

        The Company sells its coffees and teas through a multi-
channel distribution network consisting of wholesale operations,
a Company-owned Bakery and direct marketing operations.  The
Company offers its complementary products through its Bakery and
direct mail operations.  The Company generally provides its
wholesale customers with brewing, grinding and related equipment
(leased from manufacturers) and product displays (designed and
manufactured by the Company) at no charge if predetermined sales
volumes are reached.  The Company believes that its ability to
construct its own display fixtures gives it a competitive
advantage because supermarkets, which constitute a significant
portion of the target market, require custom design fixture
programs at low cost, with accelerated delivery times.

        In fiscal 1998, coffee and tea sales comprised
approximately 97% and 1%, respectively, of the Company's core
revenues (exclusive of revenues from the Cafe and Bakery), with
complementary products accounting for approximately 2% of the
Company's core revenues.

COFFEE INDUSTRY

        Specialty coffee is one of the fastest growing segments
of the coffee industry.  According to the Specialty Coffee
Association of America, the production of mild arabica coffees,
which are the basis of specialty coffee sales, represents
approximately $6.7 billion or 47% of the estimated total world
coffee trade valued at $14 billion in 1997.  In 1997, the U.S.
specialty coffee industry purchased over 2.5 million bags of
arabica coffees, which represent $396 million or approximately 5%
of the world's output. The industry is expected to continue to be
fragmented with only a few specialty coffee companies possessing
a nationally distributed brand.  Costs of green specialty coffee
increased greatly in fiscal 1997 due to the inability of green
coffee suppliers to meet the growing world wide demand for
coffee, the unfavorable weather conditions in certain growing


				6<PAGE>
regions and the limited inventories of high quality and organic
coffee beans in the consuming nations. Green beans prices
decreased significantly in fiscal 1998.  The Company's cost of
green beans in 1998 decreased 17% as compared to its cost in
1997.

        There has been a trend of increased public awareness of
the environmental issues associated with clear cutting of rain
forests to provide land for sun-grown coffee.  Recent changes in
the coffee industry have included:

        1.   The  Specialty Coffee Association of America
        ("SCAA")  has  changed its  14-year  old  mission
        statement   to   include   the   words:   "social
        responsibility", "environmental sensitivity", and
        "sustainability".
        
        2.    The   international  community  of   coffee
        producers    has    accepted    the    goal    of
        "sustainability"  as  the economic  direction  of
        choice.   The  country of Nicaragua has  embraced
        the policy of shade in its coffee plantations  as
        public policy.
        
        3. A Second National Conference on Coffee and the
        Environment, which is co-sponsored  by  the  SCAA
        and  the  Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center,  was
        held  in  April  1998, in Denver, Colorado.   The
        Company's Chief Executive Officer, Paul  Katzeff,
        was co-chairman of the conference.
        
        4.  Shade grown coffee now appears on the "offer"
        lists of most coffee brokers and importers and is
        offered by a majority of small to mid-size coffee
        roasters of specialty coffee.
        
        5.   Coffee  producing countries, such  as  Costa
        Rica,  have begun shade replantings on their  sun
        coffee  farms  to  improve the quality  of  their
        coffee  beans and to benefit from premium  prices
        paid for shade coffee.
        
MARKETING STRATEGY

        The Company's sales and marketing efforts are currently
organized in four different segments:

        1.  Wholesale, direct delivery  - This segment includes
customers in northern California counties contiguous to the
Company plant in Fort Bragg, California, and serviced by Company
trucks.  The Company owns or leases trucks and delivers coffee
within a 200 mile radius of Fort Bragg.




				7<PAGE>
        2.  Wholesale, delivery by other means  -  This segment
includes accounts which are serviced by UPS or other common
carriers.  Delivery is made to over 500 accounts which span all
50 states of the United States.

        3.  Direct Marketing  -  This segment includes accounts
serviced through catalogue or online programs.

        4.  Retail  -  This segment consists of sales through the
Company's Bakery.  However, the Company is actively pursuing the
sale of the Bakery and has listed the business with a real estate
agent.

        During fiscal 1998, the Company continued its shift in
its blend of product sales.  The Company's plan for fiscal 1998
was based on the continued growth of Song Bird Coffee(TM) sales
to the marketplace.  The Company has embarked on a campaign to
market coffees to bird lovers under an exclusive ten-year
agreement with the ABA to produce and market Song Bird Coffee
worldwide.  Song Bird Coffee is a registered trademark of the
ABA, one of America's most active and prestigious birding
membership associations with over 19,000 members.

        The Company's strategy of "repositioning" its coffee
products by targeting bird lovers instead of coffee lovers is
predicated on the fact that migratory birds are in population
decline due to loss of habitat, which results from the clearing
of shade tree canopy to allow coffee to grow in the sun.  The
Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center's landmark 1996 study reported
that as much as 60% of the migratory bird population of North
America has disappeared since 1972, and traced this disappearance
to the reduction of forest habitat in Central and South America
caused by the "technification" of coffee agriculture.  The
Company's environmental concerns have meshed perfectly with the
birding community, and the Company's marketing efforts have been
extremely successful to date.  In 1998, the Company opened 128
new accounts with bird stores to retail Song Bird Coffee.

        In fiscal 1997, the Company pioneered the sale of the
Song Bird Coffee in bird stores, home and garden centers and drug
stores.  It also began to offer Song Bird Coffee through more
traditional retail venues such as supermarkets, restaurants and
cafes, and in its direct marketing catalogue.  This effort is
intended to increase the awareness of the coffee drinking public
and the birding community that production of sun grown coffee on
previously forested lands was a major factor in the deterioration
of the world's rain forests and habitat of migratory song birds.
By educating consumers through packaging and special venue sales,
such as bird stores, the Company's aim is the creation of a
strong market for shade grown coffees which preserves bird
habitat. Support by consumers could influence coffee farms to
replant limited or natural shade, and thus, help stop the
destruction of the environment before additional losses occur in
the song bird population.


				8<PAGE>
        The Company believes that its relationship with the ABA
and its marketing of Song Bird Coffee have distinguished the
Company's role and image in the marketplace.  The devotion of
more of the Company's resources to the production of Song Bird
Coffee and an increased public awareness of the environmental
effects of coffee growing has resulted in a corresponding
increase in the sales of the Company's packaged and bulk
roasted shade grown and organic coffee varieties, from
approximately 30% of sales in fiscal 1996 to just over 33% of
sales in 1997 to 40% in 1998.  Song Bird Coffee sales have grown
to represent 6% of the Company's packaged and bulk roasted coffee
sales in fiscal 1997 and 10% in 1998.  Song Bird Coffee was not
sold in fiscal 1996.

COMPETITION

        The specialty coffee market is highly competitive, and
the Company competes against all sellers of specialty coffee.  At
the wholesale level, the Company competes with several nationally
known premium coffee brands, such as Proctor & Gamble's Millstone
label and Nestle's Sarks label, as well as other lesser known
brands and store brands.  The Company also competes regionally in
Northern California with small regional specialty roasters for
retail shelf space and with large regional roasters for food
service trade.  In the direct mail area, the Company competes
with established suppliers such as Gevalia, a division of General
Foods Corporation, as well as with other direct mail companies,
including Starbuck's, a leading independent specialty coffee
retailer and wholesaler.

        The Company competes primarily on the basis of the
quality of its products, its graphics, and its social and
environmental philosophies.  While the Company believes it
competes favorably with respect to these factors, many of the
Company's competitors are larger than the Company and have
significantly  greater financial, marketing and other resources
than the Company, and there can be no assurance that it will be
able to compete or maintain or expand sales successfully in the
future.

        The Company's philosophy on competition is to lead rather
than follow.  The Company attempts to cooperate with retailers in
introducing novel products which face little or no competition
and to place its products in markets where such products have not
previously been sold.  For example, Song Bird Coffee is marketed
in stores where bird lovers purchase birdseed and bird houses.  
The Company calls this strategy "repositioning".  See "Marketing
Strategy."

        Similarly, the Company sells organic coffee in the
socially responsible marketplace, repositioning its products as
carriers of issues as well as flavor.  In fiscal 1998, the
Company's coffee products were served and sold by prestigious
environmental organizations such as The World Wildlife Fund,


				9<PAGE>
Natural Resource Defense Council, Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Cape
May Bird Observatory and by several other national institutions.

        The Company cannot guarantee successful competition
against other coffee companies.  The Company believes its focus
on repositioning and partnering has enabled it to find a niche in
the coffee market, however there can be no assurance that the
Company's marketing efforts will be successful.

        The Company also experiences competition in connection
with sale of tea. The Company's product generally is sold in
specialty retailers and gift shops where there is competition
from a variety of companies such as Tazo, Republic of Tea, Stash
and Bigelow.  The Company competes primarily on the basis of the
quality of the tea, the use of gauze fabric bags, and the
packaging. While the Company believes it competes favorably with
respect to these factors, many of the Company's competitors are
larger than the Company and have significantly greater
financial, marketing and other resources than the Company, and
there can be no assurance that it will be able to compete or
maintain or expand sales successfully in the future.

        The Company also provides complimentary products
primarily to its wholesale serving accounts that are ancillary to
the coffee business but are necessary to serve coffee.  These
items include chocolate, syrups, coffee cups, equipment cleaner
and the like.  These items are provided as a convenience for
those accounts and assist in increasing revenue per stop for the
Company's distribution system.  The Company experiences
competition in the sale of these ancillary items from
manufacturers or other distributors such as foodservice
distributors.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to compete or maintain or expand sales of these products
successfully in the future.

GREEN BEAN COFFEE SUPPLY AND AVAILABILITY

        The Company purchases green beans from a number of
importers as well as from farmer representatives and small
producer cooperatives.  Although most coffee trades in the
worldwide commodities markets, coffee of the quality sought by
the Company tends to trade on a negotiated basis at a substantial
premium or "differential" above commodity coffee pricing,
depending upon the supply and demand at the time of purchase.
Supply and price can be affected by multiple factors, such as
weather, politics and economics in the producing countries.

        In addition, in its attempt to reduce the cost risk
resulting from market fluctuations in the cost of coffee beans,
the Company does from time to time purchase coffee option
contracts when it is not able to enter into coffee purchase
commitments.  Changes in the market value of option contracts are
reported by the Company in the period in which the change occurs
and are included as part of cost of sales.


				10<PAGE>
        Sustainable Harvest was created by the Company in fiscal
1997 to provide a supply of shade coffees that would meet the
standards set by the Company's 5-year market plan.  The sale of
Sustainable Harvest to its current ownership was intended to
establish and secure for the Company a source of supply without
the risks associated with the operations of a green coffee
importing company and without the need for large capital outlays
to finance purchases of container loads of coffee, which would
impact negatively on the cash flow of the Company.

        With respect to organic and shade grown coffee, the
Company has entered into an agreement with Sustainable Harvest to
secure a supply of organic and shade grown coffee beans for five
years commencing December 31, 1997.  Under this agreement, the
Company must purchase and Sustainable Harvest must provide a
minimum annual amount of beans at a fixed mark-up above cost.
This agreement is intended to ensure a supply of organic and
shade grown coffee for the Company's production of Song Bird
Coffee.

        The Company believes its long-term relationships with
coffee bean brokers, including Sustainable Harvest, provide
adequate sources of supply of high-quality green beans to meet
its needs for the foreseeable future.  However, a worldwide
supply shortage of the high quality arabica coffees the Company
purchases, and a shortage of organic and shade grown beans in
particular, could have an adverse impact on the Company.  The
Company is pursuing long-term contracts with  its Nicaraguan,
Costa Rican and Mexican producers.

        Supplies of tea are secured from traditional sources
which are readily available in the marketplace.

SUMMARY OF RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

        The Company renegotiated its line of credit with Wells
Fargo Bank to a note payable with the first year payments based
on a ten-year amortization schedule and the second year payments
based on an eight year amortization schedule and a balloon
payment due at the end of the second year.  See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations  - Liquidity and Capital Resources."

        In July 1998, Wylan Enterprises and the Company has
entered into a license agreement for the Company to use Wylan
images on its coffee products and distribute them through
traditional and new venues.  The license agreement expires on
December 31, 2001.  The Company has not yet sold any products
pursuant to this agreement.

        The sales results of the Company's Cafe, which previously
retailed the Company's coffee and tea products, did not meet
expectations, and accordingly, in an effort to reduce operating
costs and overhead, management closed the Cafe effective February


				11<PAGE>
1998.  The Company has subleased the Cafe premises to a
restauranteur.

        The Company is actively pursuing the sale of the Bakery
and has listed the business with a real estate agent.  See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations."

CUSTOMERS

        In fiscal 1998, no customer accounted for more than 10%
of the Company's revenue from coffee sales. However, significant
reduction in sales to any of the Company's principal customers,
or the loss of one or more major customers, may have an adverse
impact on the Company.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

        The Company holds various federal registrations in the
United States for the following trademarks and service marks:
Thanksgiving Coffee Company, Royal Gardens Tea Company, Pony
Express, Time Bandits, Grand Slam Coffee, "Not Just a Cup...But a
Just Cup," "Many Beans are Picked, Few are Chosen," Mayan
Harvest, and Inca Harvest.  Federal trademark and service mark
registrations must be renewed every 10 years.  Some of the
Company's registered marks may require renewal in the near
future. The Company also has several applications pending for
registration of additional trademarks and service marks including
the Zapotec Powerline mark. The Company does not hold any patents.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

        The Company's roasting plant has been certified by the
Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA).  The OCIA has also
certified the organic practices of several farms from which the
Company receives green beans.  The certification criteria of the
OCIA, an independent organization, meet the standards promulgated
under the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 (OFPA).  The
Company believes that new federal regulations regarding organic
and natural food products will not adversely affect the Company
because it already adheres to OCIA standards that are as
stringent as the new regulations.

EMPLOYEES

        As of December 31, 1998, the Company had approximately
fifty-five full-time employees and fifteen part-time employees.
None of the Company's employees are covered by a collective
bargaining agreement.  The Company has never suffered a work
stoppage due to adverse labor conditions with its employees.  The
Company believes that it maintains good relations with its employees.

ITEM 2  PROPERTIES
        
        The executive offices of the Company occupy approximately
14,500 square feet at 19100 South Noyo Harbor Drive, Fort Bragg,
California 95437, which also includes a warehouse and the
capacity for manufacturing operations.  The Company leases an
additional 1,626 square feet of storage space on the Fort Bragg
waterfront.  These facilities are currently being leased for a
five-year term expiring March 31, 2000, at a rate of
approximately $8,500 per month in fiscal 1997 and $8,600 per
month in fiscal 1998, from affiliates of the Company, Joan and
Paul Katzeff, who are founders, principal shareholders, officers
and directors of the Company.  The Company has an option to
extend this lease for three additional five-year periods.  The
Company believes this lease represents an arms-length rate and
arms-length terms for comparable space in the Fort Bragg area.
See Item 12, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

        The Company's Bakery in Mendocino is approximately 1,617
square feet and is leased from an unaffiliated third party.  The
Company currently pays rent of approximately $2,815 per month for
the Bakery pursuant to a ten-year lease that commenced on October
1, 1990.  The Bakery has an option to extend its lease through
September 30, 2010.

        The Company believes that its current facilities are
adequate for its current and expected operations, and that
suitable additional space will be available in the Fort Bragg
area when and if additional space is required.  The Company owns
no real property.

        The Company has sub-leased the Cafe premises to the
tenant.

ITEM 3  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
        
        The Company is not currently party to any material
pending legal proceeding.

ITEM 4  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
        
        No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders
during the fourth quarter ending December 31, 1998.

ITEM 5  MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDERS MATTERS
        
        Trades in the Company's Common Stock are made through
Mutual Securities, Inc., ("Mutual Securities") in Ukiah,
California, an order matching service.  No established trading
market exists for the Company's Common Stock.  The Company's


				13<PAGE>
Common Stock is not listed on any exchange nor the NASDAQ system,
and the Company does not currently intend to seek such listing in
fiscal 1999.

        During fiscal 1998, the Company was aware of only four
trades of the Company's Common Stock totaling 2,300 shares of
Common Stock.  Since all transactions were individually
negotiated between the buyer and seller through Mutual Securities
as intermediary, the Company was not informed of the exact
purchase price for the Common Stock sold in each of these
transactions.  The Company, however, was informed by Mutual
Securities that the Company's Common Stock traded at $5 1/8 in
the first quarter of fiscal 1998, at $5 in the second quarter of
fiscal 1998.

        The Company has not declared nor paid any cash dividend
since its inception.  The Company intends to retain all earnings
for use in its business and therefore does not anticipate paying
any cash dividends in the near future.  The Company's bank credit
agreement prohibits the payment of cash dividends without the
bank's consent.

        As of December 31, 1998, there were 1,323 holders of
record of the Common Stock.

ITEM 6  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
        
        The following discussion of financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto
appearing elsewhere in the Form 10KSB.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1998 COMPARED TO 1997

        REVENUES.  Total revenues decreased $568,781 or 9.1% to
$5,653,357 for fiscal 1998 compared to $6,222,138 for fiscal
1997.  Of this decrease, approximately $80,000 was due to the
closing of the Company's Cafe in February 1998, and, therefore,
no sales for the Cafe were recorded thereafter, approximately
$700,000 was due to the absence of Sustainable Harvest sales,
which were not included since Sustainable was sold on December
31, 1997, and $50,000 was due to a decrease in direct marketing
sales over comparable sales in fiscal 1997.  This decrease in
revenues was offset by a $200,000 increase in wholesale sales and
$70,000 increase in Bakery sales.

        GROSS MARGIN.  Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage
of net sales) increased to 41.2% in fiscal 1998 from 38.9% in
fiscal 1997.  Gross margins increased mainly due to higher
selling prices and lower bean costs in the core coffee company.
The Bakery margins improved due to lower labor costs. Management


				14<PAGE>
expects an increase in gross margins in the first half of fiscal
1999 as compared to fiscal 1998 due to the availability of lower
cost green beans for which the Company has already contracted.

        SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased by $727,200 or
24.9% from $2,918,498 in fiscal 1997 to $2,191,298 in fiscal
1998.  As a percentage of total sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased from 46.9% in 1997 to 38.8% in
fiscal 1998.  Of the $727,200 decrease, approximately $150,000
reflects the reduction of personnel, approximately $350,000
reflects overhead decrease attributable to the Company's
restructuring of retail and green bean operations, approximately
$150,000 reflects lower mail order costs and approximately
$68,000 reflects the decrease of expenses related to legal,
accounting and shareholder related expenses.

        DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and
amortization expenses as a percentage of total sales increased to
3.1% in fiscal 1998 from 2.7% in fiscal 1997, due primarily to
depreciation for additional equipment related and to lower sales
in fiscal 1998.

        OTHER INCOME.  Miscellaneous income of $1,452 in fiscal
1998 and $17,704 in fiscal 1997 relates to a variety of
immaterial transactions.

        LOSS ON SALE OF SUBSIDIARY.  The sale of Sustainable
Harvest in fiscal 1997 resulted in a loss of $29,471.

        INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense declined $15,577 or
11.7% from $132,666 in fiscal 1997 to $117,089 in fiscal 1998.
Interest expense as a percentage of total sales remained the same
at 2.1% for fiscal 1998 and 2.1% for the same time period in fiscal
1997.

        INCOME TAX BENEFIT.  In 1998, the Company realized a non-
recurring timing difference between book and tax depreciation and
amortization of $72,239 which resulted from tax loss carry-
forwards.

        NET LOSS.  As a result of the foregoing, the net loss for
fiscal 1998 amounted to $82,707 or 1.5% of total sales compared
to a net loss of $802,869 or 12.9% of total sales in fiscal 1997.

1997 COMPARED TO 1996

        REVENUES.  Total revenues increased 43.9% to $6,222,138
for fiscal 1997 compared to $4,323,481 for fiscal 1996.  High
revenue growth was due to additional sales generated from the
purchase of the Bakery and Sustainable Harvest and the opening of
the Cafe.




				15<PAGE>
        GROSS MARGIN.  Gross Margin (gross profit as a percentage
of net sales) decreased to 38.9% in fiscal 1997 from 45.9% in
fiscal 1996.  Gross margins decreased as a result of higher costs
for specialty green beans and higher cost of goods sold in the
Bakery and Sustainable Harvest.

        SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased by $1,168,270 or
61.0% from $1,810,684 in fiscal 1996 to $2,918,498 in fiscal
1997.  As a percentage of total sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased from 44.3% in fiscal 1996 to
49.6% in fiscal 1997.  Higher labor costs for additional sales
and management personnel and higher marketing costs for mail
order caused the increase.

        Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of
total sales increased to 2.1% in fiscal 1997 from 1.8% in fiscal
1996, due primarily to depreciation for additional equipment
related to sales growth.

        OTHER INCOME.  Miscellaneous income of $17,704 in fiscal
1997 and $5,796 in fiscal 1996 relate to a variety of different
events, none of which is material.

        LOSS ON SALE OF SUBSIDIARY.  The sale of Sustainable
Harvest in fiscal 1997 resulted in a loss of $29,471.

        INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense as a percentage of
total sales increased to 2.1% for fiscal 1997, from 1.8% for
fiscal 1996.

        NET LOSS.  As a result of the foregoing, the net loss for
fiscal 1997 amounted to $802,5869 or 12.9% of total sales
compared to a net gain of $25,500 or 0.6% of total sales in
fiscal 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        As of December 31, 1998 the Company had $89,725 in cash
and short term investments.
        
        Working capital as of December 31, 1998 totaled a surplus
of $370,217 as compared to working capital deficiency of  $3,943
at December 31, 1997.

        For fiscal 1998 and for fiscal 1997, cash provided by
operating activities showed a positive $207,308 and a deficiency
of $626,980, respectively.

        Net cash used in 1998 for investing activities, which
primarily consisted of expenditures for equipment to service new
accounts and sales growth and for the new roaster, was $72,135 as
compared to cash used in 1997 of $232,979 which also primarily
consisted of expenditures for equipment.


				16<PAGE>
        Net cash used by financing activities in 1998 was
primarily attributable to the $154,804 repayment of notes payable
and offset in part by cash provided due to a $56,972 increase of
notes receivable.  In fiscal 1997 cash provided by financing
activities totaled $507,794 which consisted primarily of cash
proceeds from an increase of $719,901 in notes payable offset by
repayment of notes payable for $164,842 and an increase in notes
receivable of $89,000.

        The Company maintained a revolving line of credit of up
to $650,000 for the first three quarters of fiscal 1998.  The
credit agreement was renewed in the fourth quarter of fiscal
1998; however, in January 1999 this agreement was renegotiated
and replaced with a two year note payable in the principal amount
of $601,636 with a balloon payment due after the end of two years
of $441,199.68.  In the event that that Company is unable to
renegotiate this balloon payment before it becomes due, the
Company's business would be adversely affected.

        There were total borrowings of $1,093,299, including
$601,636, outstanding under the new note payable at January 6,
1999.  Due to the significance of the term agreement on the
classification of short and long term debt, management, with the
concurrence of the Company's auditors, has deemed the term
agreement as a material post balance sheet event and recorded it
as of December 31, 1998.

        The Company is dependent on successfully executing its
business plan to achieve profitable operations, obtaining
additional sources of borrowings (including normal trade credit),
and securing favorable financing arrangements (including lease
financing) to continue its trend to profitable operations.  There
can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this
regard.  If the Company is not able to meet its credit
obligations the Company's business could be adversely affected.

        The Company anticipates that its existing capital
resources and cash generated from operations will be sufficient
to meet its cash requirement for the next 12 months at its
anticipated level of operations.
        
YEAR 2000

        Currently, many hardware and software systems represent
year data with two instead of four digits (e.g. "01" instead of
"2001").  This may cause such hardware and software systems to
produce erroneous results and/or to malfunction when processing
dates after December 31, 1999.  As a result, many companies'
hardware and software systems may need to be upgraded or replaced
in order to correctly process dates after December 31, 1999.






				17<PAGE>
        The Company has reviewed and upgraded its information
technology during the past fourteen months.  Since November of
1997, it has upgraded its main accounting software at the cost of
$6,000 and its LAN software for $4,200 in November of 1998.  In
January of 1999 the Company reviewed all of its hardware to
assure compliance not only for the year 2000 but also for leap
year acceptability.  This review, which cost $300, did not
require any change in equipment.  The only information technology
that the Company has yet to change is its mail order software.
This change is anticipated to be completed in the summer of 1999
at a cost of approximately $3,500.  However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to complete such change
on that schedule.  The Company has been informed by its vendors
that other information technology such as telephone and alarm
systems are either compliant or not date sensitive.

        The Company is in the process of reviewing its non-
information technology such as roasters, fillers and sealers with
embedded chips.  The Company has received verbal acknowledgements
from manufacturers for the above that these roasters, fillers and
sealers are compliant or not date sensitive.

        The Company's major bank, Wells Fargo, has publicly
stated that their systems will be year 2000 compliant.

        The Company has begun to poll its vendors and customers
as to their ability to cope with the year 2000 computer and other
related issues.  The Company anticipates having this
vendor/customer program completed by August, 1999, and prepare a
contingency plan if its largest vendors and customers cannot be
year 2000 compliant.  There can be no assurances, however, that
the Company will be able to complete such program on that
schedule or that any contingency plan will be successful.

        The Company generates alternative power through diesel
generators to maintain plant running schedules in the event of
power failures.  However, accounting system applications would
not operate and would have to be recorded manually because of the
unfavorable effect of generator power on computers.  The
Company's ability to run on these generators is directly related
to its ability to obtain diesel fuel.  Currently, there is no
problem in procuring diesel fuel.  The Company has received
verbal assurances from the local telephone company that
telephones would continue to operate.

        The Company expects that most reasonably likely worst
case year 2000 compliance scenarios to include failure of the
Company's accounting systems and disruptions in the operations of
third parties due to their failure to attain year 2000
compliance.  Any such failures could impact the Company by
causing delays in the: (i) the delivery of coffee and other
products to the Company; (ii) the obtaining of customer orders
and the delivery of the Company's products; and (iii) the receipt
of payments from the Company's customers.  The severity of these


				18<PAGE>
possible problems would depend on the magnitude of the problem and
how quickly it could be corrected or an alternative implemented,
which is unknown at this time.

SEASONALITY AND OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE

        The Company's business is seasonal in nature.  The
seasonal availability of green bean coffee in the first two
quarters of the year and increased sales in the last quarter
historically creates a high use of cash and a build up in
inventories in the first two quarters, with a corresponding
decrease in inventory and increase in cash in the last quarter.
Because of the seasonality of the Company's business, results for
any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be achieved for the full fiscal year.  Furthermore,  past
seasonal patterns are not necessarily indicative of future
results.  The Company's future results of operations and earnings
could also be significantly affected by other factors, such as
changes in general economic conditions, changes in business
conditions in the coffee industry, fluctuations in consumer
demand for coffee products and in the availability and costs of
green coffee beans, increased competition within the Company's
businesses, variances from budgeted sales mix and growth rate,
consumer acceptance of the Company's new products, inability to
secure adequate capital to fund its operating losses and working
capital requirements, inability to hire, train and retain
qualified personnel, concentration of production and sales in
Northern California, the loss of one or more major customers,
inability to successfully implement its business plan, civil
unrest in countries that produce coffee and tea, weather and
other natural disasters.  There can be no assurance that sales
will increase in future quarters.

INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS

        The Company's Bylaws provide that the Company may
indemnify its directors, officers, employees and other agents to
the fullest extent permitted by California law.  The Company
believes that indemnification under its Bylaws also permits the
Company to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director,
employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or
her actions in such capacity, regardless of whether California
law would permit indemnification.  The Company maintains such
liability insurance for its directors and certain officers and
employees.

        At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding
involving any director, office, employee or agent of the Company
where indemnification would be required or permitted.  The
Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation or
proceeding that might result in a claim for such indemnification.

ITEM 12 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

        In December 1997, the Company sold all outstanding shares
of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sustainable Harvest, to Mr. David
Griswold.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is
required to purchase a certain quantity of green coffee beans per
year for a five-year period commencing December 31, 1997, at a
fixed mark-up over "landed coffee costs".

        The Company leases its corporate headquarters, warehouse
and waterfront facilities from Joan and Paul Katzeff, who are
affiliates of the Company (the "Katzeffs").  The lease provided
for monthly payments of $8,600 in fiscal 1998, and the Company is
also responsible for all real estate taxes, insurance and
maintenance costs related to the facilities.  See Note 12 of
"Notes to Financial Statements".

        As of December 31, 1998, the Company held a note payable
to the Katzeffs in the amount of $52,000, payable in monthly
interest installments at a rate of 12% per annum, with the
balance payable on demand after June 30, 1996.  See Note 6 of the
"Notes to Financial Statements".

        As of December 31, 1998, the Company also held a note
payable to the Katzeffs in the amount of $5,877, payable in
quarterly installments of $3,229 including interest at an annual
rate of 10%, with the balance due on July 17, 1999.  See Note 6
of the "Notes to Financial Statements".

        Global Insights, of which Messrs. Doughty and Leigon,
both directors of the Company, are principals, is party to a
consulting agreement for fiscal 1999.  It is a one-year agreement
commencing January 1, 1999 for the provision of specific business
functions including a provision of shareholder relation services
for $72,000 per year.  Global Insights received an aggregate of
$60,605 during fiscal 1998 for similar services.

        The Company carries insurance indemnifying its directors
and certain officers and certain employees against certain
liabilities by reason of their status or service as directors or
officers or employees of the Company.  See Item 10, Executive
Compensation  - Indemnification Matter."

                       "Auditor's Report"


To The Board of Directors
Thanksgiving Coffee Company, Inc.
Fort Bragg, California

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Thanksgiving
Coffee Company, Inc. (a California Corporation) as of December
31, 1998 and 1997 and the related statements of income, retained
earnings and cash flows for each of the three years ended
December 31, 1998.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Thanksgiving Coffee
Company, Inc. at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Thanksgiving Coffee Company, Inc. (The Company), is a corporation
that  purchases  and roasts high-quality whole bean  coffees  and
sells  them  to  restaurants, grocery  stores  and  other  retail
outlets.   These  products  are sold primarily  through  its  own
distribution   network   in   the   Northern   California   area.
Distributors  and  retailers do not  have  the  right  to  return
products.  Additionally, the Company produces and sells a line of
high-quality  tea products under the trademark of  Royal  Gardens
Tea  Company.   The Company also sells coffee,  tea  and  related
specialty  products through mail order on a national basis.   The
Company  sells  sandwiches, pastries, coffee and  tea  through  a
bakery located in Mendocino, California.  During 1998 the company
subleased a cafe located in Fort Bragg, California.  In 1997, the
Company  purchased  and sold a subsidiary, a wholesale  purchaser
and   distributor  of  coffee  beans,  located   in   Emeryville,
California.

Basis of Presentation

The  Company has prepared the financial statements on the accrual
basis   of  accounting  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.  The Company grants credit to customers in
the  retail  industry throughout the country.  Consequently,  the
Company's  ability to collect the amounts due from customers  are
affected by economic fluctuations in the retail industry.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market  (first-in,
first-out).

Property and Equipment

Property  and  equipment  are carried at  cost  less  accumulated
depreciation.  Depreciation is provided on the straight-line  and
150%  declining  balance  methods  over  estimated  useful  lives
generally ranging from five to twelve years.

Leasehold improvements are carried at cost and are amortized over
the  shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related lease
term  (including options), generally ranging from five to thirty-
nine and one-half years.

The portion of depreciation and amortization expenses related  to
production facilities is included in cost of sales.


				1<PAGE>
Expenditures  for  major  renewals that extend  useful  lives  of
property,    fixtures   and   improvements    are    capitalized.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged  to  expense
as incurred.

For  income  tax  purposes, depreciation is  computed  using  the
accelerated  cost recovery system and the modified cost  recovery
system.

Investments in Unconsolidated Companies

On   January  1,  1997,  the  Company  acquired  the  assets  and
liabilities   of  Sustainable  Harvest,  Inc.,  in   a   business
combination   accounted   for  as  a  purchase.     The   Company
subsequently sold the subsidiary at a loss of $29,471 on November
1,  1997.   The  Company has a note receivable reflected  on  the
books  as a result of the sale, with a balance of $32,028  as  of
December  31,  1998.   The results of operations  of  Sustainable
Harvest   are   included  in  the  1997  accompanying   financial
statements.

On October 31, 1996, the Company acquired the assets of Mendocino
Bakery,  Inc.  in  a  business combination  accounted  for  as  a
purchase.

Profit Sharing Plan

The  Company has a profit sharing plan covering substantially all
of  its employees.  Benefits are based upon years of service  and
the  employee's  compensation during the employment  period.   No
contributions to the profit sharing plan were made for the  years
ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.

Futures and Options Contracts

The  Company  occasionally  enters into  exchange  traded  coffee
futures  and  options contracts with the objective of  minimizing
cost  risk  due  to  market fluctuations.  The Company  does  not
define   contracts  as  a  hedge  as  it  applies  to  accounting
principles  and  practices designated in Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 80, Accounting for  Futures  Contracts.
Accordingly,  changes  in the market value of  futures  contracts
(unrealized gains and losses) are reported by the Company in  the
period in which the change occurs and are included as a component
of  stockholders'  equity.   Realized  gains  and  losses  are  a
component of costs of goods sold.

Compensated Absences

Employees of the Company are entitled to paid vacation, paid sick
days  and  personal  days off, depending on  job  classification,
length of service, and other factors.




				2<PAGE>
Advertising

The  Company  expenses costs of advertising the  first  time  the
advertising  takes  place,  except  direct-response  advertising,
which  is  capitalized and amortized over its expected period  of
future  benefits.  Direct-response advertising consists primarily
of  mail  order catalog costs, typically mailed to customers  who
have  specifically  responded to this type of  advertising.   The
mail order department documents whether orders come from catalogs
or  other  sources  when processing orders.   Catalog  costs  are
amortized over the period from the catalog mailing until the next
catalog is issued.

Use of Estimates

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with
generally  accepted accounting principles requires management  to
make estimates  and  assumptions that affect the amounts reported 
in  the  financial  statements  and  accompanying notes.   Actual
results  could  differ  from  those estimates.

2.  Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of the following:

estate  taxes,  insurance and maintenance costs  related  to  the
facilities.   The  lease  provides for periodic  cost  of  living
increases  during  the  term of the lease, including  the  option
periods.   The  Company  exercised the first  of  four  five-year

13. Commitments

Under the terms of an agreement with the subsidiary sold in 1997,
the  Company is required to purchase coffee beans each  year  for
the  next  five years ending December 31, 2002 at a predetermined
price per pound over landed coffee costs.

The  Company  purchased a bakery from Laoma  Yaski  in  1996  for
$350,000.   The  Company agreed to pay an additional  $25,000  to
Laoma  Yaski  upon  the seven year anniversary  of  the  purchase
provided she does not own, manage or operate a bakery within  250
miles of Mendocino, California.

Under  the  terms  of  an agreement with a past  officer  of  the
Company,  the  Company may purchase options under  the  following
terms:

                     Number Of Shares	  Total
     	1999              3,000          $ 9,750
        2000              1,000          $ 3,500


A  remaining 16,000 options may be exercised or sold at any  time
at  the  discretion of the past officer subject to the  Company's
first right of refusal.

14. Impact of the Year 2000 (Unaudited)

The  Year  2000  Issue is the result of computer  programs  being
written  using  two  digits  rather  than  four  to  define   the
applicable  year.  Any computer programs that have time-sensitive
software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900  rather
than  the  year 2000.  This could result in a system  failure  or
miscalculations  causing  disruptions of  operations,  including,
among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions
or engage in similar normal business activities.

The  Company  has  completed an assessment  and  will  modify  or
replace  some portions of their equipment so that their  computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the  year
2000  and  thereafter.   The  total Year  2000  project  cost  is
estimated  at  approximately $14,000.  To date, the  Company  has
incurred $10,500 in expenses related to the Year 2000 Issue.

The  project is estimated to be completed not later than December
31,  1999,  which  is  prior  to any anticipated  impact  on  its
operating  systems.  The Company believes that with modifications
to  existing  hardware and conversions to upgrade  software,  the
Year 2000 Issue will not pose significant operation problems  for
its computer systems.
The  date on which the Company believes it will complete the Year
2000  modifications  are  based on management's  best  estimates,
which  were  derived  utilizing numerous  assumptions  of  future
events, including the continued availability of certain resources


				12<PAGE>
and other factors.  However, there can be no guarantee that these
estimates  will  be  achieved  and actual  results  could  differ
materially  from those anticipated.  Specific factors that  might
cause such material differences include, but are not limited  to,
the  availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the
ability  to  locate and correct all relevant computer codes,  and
similar uncertainties.

15. Subsequent Events

The  Company is actively pursuing the sale of the Bakery and  has
listed the business with a real estate agent.

Initial Rate: 9.500%
                         
*   Promise to Pay. THANKSGIVING COFFEE COMPANY, INC.
    ("Borrower") promises to pay to Wells Fargo Bank, National
    Association ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the
    United States of America, the principal amount of  One
    Hundred Thousand  & 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), together
    with interest on the unpaid principal balance from August 13,
    1997, until paid in full.
*   PAYMENT. Subject to any payment changes resulting from
    changes in the Index, Borrower will pay this loan in 59
    principal payments of $1,666.66 each and one time principal
    and interest payment of $1,680.70.  Borrower's first
    principal payment is due September 15, 1997, and all
    subsequent principal payments are due on the same day of each
    month after that.  In addition borrower will pay regular
    monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of
    each payment date.  Borrower's first interest payment is due
    September 15, 1997, and all subsequent interest payments are
    due on the same day of each month after that.  Borrower's
    final payment due August 15, 2002, will be for all principal
    and accrued interest not yet paid.

The interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 simple
interest basis: that is, by applying the ratio of the annual
interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the
outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of
days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay
Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as
Lender may designate in writing. Unless otherwise agreed or
required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to
accrued unpaid interest, then to principal, and any remaining
amount to any unpaid collection costs and late charges.


				14<PAGE>
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject
to change from time to time based on changes in an index which is
the Prime Rate (the "Index"). The Prime Rate is a base rate that
the Lender from time to time establishes and which serves as the
basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for
those loans making reference thereto. The Prime Rate is not
necessarily the lowest or best rate at which the lender makes
loans. Each change in the rate of interest shall become effective
on the date each Prime Rate change is announced within the
Lender. Lender will tell Borrower the current index rate upon
Borrower's request. Borrower understands that Lender may make
loans based on other rates as well. The interest rate change will
not occur more often than each time the Index changes. The Index
currently is 8.500% per annum. The interest rate to be applied to
the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be at a rate of
1.000 percentage point over the index, resulting in an initial
rate of 9.500% per annum.  Notice: under no circumstances will
the interest rate on this capital end be more than the maximum
allowed by applicable law.

PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid
finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and
will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether
voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise
required by law. Except for the foregoing Borrower may pay
without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than
it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by the
Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to
continue to make payments under the payment schedule period.
Rather, they will reduce the principal balance due and may result
in Borrower making fewer payments.

LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 15 days or more late, Borrower will
be charged 5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment or $15.00,
whichever is greater.

DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following
happens: (a) Borrower fails to make any payment when due.  (b)
Borrower breaks any promise Borrower has made to Lender, or
Borrower fails to comply with or to perform when due any other
term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or
any agreement related to this Note, or in any other agreement or
loan Borrower has with Lender.  (c) Borrower defaults under any
loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales
agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor
or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property
or Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower's
obligations under this Note or any of the Related Documents.  (d)
Any representation or statement made or furnished to lender by
Borrower or on Borrower's behalf is false or misleading in any
material respect either now or at the time made or furnished.
(e) Borrower becomes insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any
part of Borrower's property. Borrower makes an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or any proceeding is commenced either by


				15<PAGE>
Borrower or against Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency
laws. (f) Any creditor tries to take any of Borrower's property
on or in which Lender has a lien or security interest.  This
includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts with Lender.
(g) Any guarantor dies or any of the other events described in
this default section occurs with respect to any guarantor of this
Note. (h) A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's
financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment
or performance of the indebtedness is impaired. (i) Lender in
good faith deems itself insecure.

LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire
unpaid principal balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid
interest immediately due, without notice, and the Borrower will
pay that amount. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help
collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower also will
pay Lender that amount. This includes, subject to any limits
under applicable law, Lender's attorneys fees and Lender's legal
expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys
fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including
efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or
injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment
collection services. Borrower also will pay any court costs, in
addition to all other sums provided by law. This Note has been
delivered to Lender and accepted by Lender in the State of
California. This Note shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. Borrower grants to Lender a contractual
possessory  security interest in, and hereby assigns, conveys,
delivers, pledges, and transfers to Lender all Borrower's right,
title and interest in and to, Borrower's accounts with Lender
(whether checking, savings, or some other account), including
without limitation all accounts held jointly with someone else
and all accounts Borrower may open in the future, excluding
however all IRA and Keogh accounts, and all trust accounts for
which the grant of a security interest would be prohibited by
law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, to charge of setoff all sums owning on this Note
against any and all such accounts.

ADDITIONAL PROVISION. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, at no time shall the rate of interest on this Note be
less than two percent (2%) above the highest effective annual
rate of interest rounded upward to the next highest quarter
percent (taking into account any compounding of interest) earned
by Borrower on any time deposit, market rate account or savings
account pledged to Lender as collateral for such amounts.

PAYMENT DATE DEFERRAL. If this loan is not entered on Lender's
books during the month this Note is dated, the due dates of all
scheduled payments shall be deferred one month.




				16<PAGE>
LOAN FEES  - AUTHORIZATION. Borrower shall pay to Lender any and
all fees as specified in the "Disbursement Request and
Authorization" executed by Borrower in connection with this Note.
Such fees are non-refundable and shall be due and payable in full
immediately upon Borrower's execution of this Note.

COLLECTION FROM DEPOSIT ACCOUNT. Borrower authorizes Lender to
collect all payments, including principal, interest, fees,
charges, and other amounts due under this note by charging
Borrower's primary deposit account as specified in the
"Disbursement Request and Authorization" executed by Borrower in
connection with this Note for the full amount thereof, or such
other deposit account of Borrower as Borrower shall designate in
writing. Should there be insufficient funds in said account to
pay when due all or any portion of the total amount due from
Borrower to Lender, the full amount of such deficiency shall be
immediately due and payable by Borrower.

ARBITRATION PROGRAM. (a) Binding Arbitration. Upon the demand of
any party, any Dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration
in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Program.  A
"Dispute" shall include any action, dispute, claim, or
controversy of any kind, whether in contract or in tort, legal or
equitable, now existing or hereafter arising between the parties
relating in any way to any agreement incorporating this
Arbitration Program, or any related agreements (the "Documents"),
and all past, present, or future loans, transactions, contracts,
agreements, relationships, incidents or injuries of any kind
whatsoever relating to or involving the Business Banking Group or
any successor group or department of Lender. Any party to this
Arbitration Program may by summary proceedings bring any action
in court or compel arbitration of any Dispute. Any party who
fails to submit to binding arbitration following a lawful demand
by the opposing party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred
by the opposing party in compelling arbitration of any Dispute.
The parties agree that by engaging in activities with or involving
each other as described above, they are participating in transactions
involving interstate commerce. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT BY THIS
AGREEMENT THEY HAVE DECIDED THAT THEIR DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED BY
BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, AND ONCE DECIDED BY
ARBITRATION NO DISPUTE CAN LATER BE BROUGHT, FILED OR PURSUED IN
COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY, except under the limited circumstances
provided for herein.

(b) Governing Rules, Preservation of Remedies, Arbitrators. All
Disputes between the parties submitted to arbitration shall be
resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American
Arbitration Association (the "AAA") in accordance with its
Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Federal Arbitration Act
(Title 9 of the United State Code). Judgment upon any award made
hereunder may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any
claim or dispute related to the exercise of any self-help,
auxiliary or other rights under this paragraph shall be a Dispute
hereunder. However, no provision of, nor the exercise of any


				17<PAGE>
rights under, this Arbitration Program shall limit the right of
any party to seek, use, and employ ancillary or preliminary
remedies, judicial or otherwise, for the purposes of (1)
preserving, foreclosing, or obtaining possession of real or
personal property, (2) exercising self-help remedies including
setoff and repossession rights, or (3) obtaining provisional or
ancillary remedies such as injunctive relief, sequestration,
attachment, garnishment, or the appointment of a receiver from a
court having jurisdiction. Such rights can be exercised at any
time, unless contrary to a final award of decision in an
arbitration proceeding, and shall not constitute a waiver of the
arbitration rights of any party. Any party may proceed against
all liable persons, or against any one of them, and may release
or settle with any of them, without impairing rights against
other liable persons. A Dispute involving claims or amounts in
controversy of $5,000,000 or less shall be decided by a single
arbitrator who shall not render an award of greater that
$5,000,000 (including damages, costs, fees and expenses), and
each party expressly waives any right or claim to recover more
than $5,000,000 in such cases. A Dispute involving greater
amounts shall be heard by and decided by a majority vote of a
panel of three arbitrators. Any arbitrator must be a retired
member of the state or federal judiciary or a practicing attorney
experienced and knowledgeable in the substantive laws applicable
to the subject matter of the Dispute.  Arbitrator(s) (i) may
grant any remedy or relief within the scope hereof that a court
of competent jurisdiction could, including ancillary relief as is
necessary to make effective any award, (ii) shall have the power
to award recovery of all costs and fees, and (iii) may impose
sanctions and take other actions as they deem necessary to the
same extent a judge could.  The determination of the
arbitrator(s) shall be binding on all parties and shall not be
subject to further review or appeal except as otherwise allowed
by applicable law.

(c) Judicial Review; Real Property Collateral; Judicial
Reference. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
any arbitration in which the amount in controversy exceeds
$25,000,000, the arbitrators shall be required to make specific,
written findings of fact and conclusions of law. In such
arbitrations (A) the arbitrators shall not have the power to make
any award which is not supported by substantial evidence or which
is based on legal error, (B) an award shall not be binding upon
the parties unless the findings of fact are supported by
substantial evidence and the conclusions of law are not erroneous
under applicable substantive law, and (C) the parties shall have,
in addition to the grounds referred to in the Federal Arbitration
Act for vacating, modifying or correcting an award, the right to
judicial review of (1) whether the findings of fact rendered by the
arbitrators are supported by substantial evidence, and (2)
whether the conclusions of law are erroneous under applicable
substantive law.  Judgment confirming an award in such a
proceeding may be entered only if a court determines the award is
supported by substantial evidence and not based on legal error


				18<PAGE>
under applicable substantive law.  Notwithstanding contrary
provisions herein, no Dispute shall be submitted to arbitration
if the Dispute concerns indebtedness secured by real property and
if arbitration of the Dispute would preclude enforcement of a
mortgage, lien or security interest securing such indebtedness,
unless (i) the holder of such mortgage, lien or security interest
specifically elects in writing to proceed with the arbitration,
or (ii) all parties to the arbitration proceeding waive any
rights or benefits that might accrue to them by virtue of any
applicable one action rule statutes, thereby agreeing that all
indebtedness and obligations of the parties, and all mortgages,
liens and security interests securing any such indebtedness and
obligations, shall remain fully valid and enforceable.  If such a
Dispute is not submitted to arbitration under such circumstances,
the Dispute shall be determined by Judicial Reference at the
election of any Party.  If such an election is made, the Dispute
shall be determined by a reference in accordance with California
Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, et seq., or the judicial
reference procedures of some other state if such state in which
the real property is located offers a comparable judicial
reference procedure.  A referee shall be selected pursuant to AAA
procedures and must meet the selection criteria set forth herein
for an arbitrator.

(d) Miscellaneous.  To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA,
the arbitrator and the parties shall act to assure that any
arbitration proceeding shall be concluded with 180 days of the
filing of the Dispute with the AAA.  Arbitration proceedings
hereunder shall be conducted at a location mutually agreeable to
the parties, or if they cannot agree, then in the state of the
applicable substantive law designated in the Documents relating
to the Dispute at a location selected by the AAA.  All discovery
activities shall be expressly limited to matters directly
relevant to the Dispute.  No party or arbitrator may disclose the
existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder,
except for disclosures of information required in the ordinary
course of a party's business or by applicable law or regulation.
This Arbitration Program shall be administered and construed in
accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, other applicable
Federal law, and to the extent inapplicable or unenforceable,
other applicable law providing for arbitration.  If there is any
inconsistency between the terms hereof and any governing rules or
statutes, the terms hereof shall control.  This Arbitration
Program constitutes the entire agreement of the parties and
supersedes all prior arrangements and other communications on
dispute resolution concerning Disputes relating to the Business
Banking Group or retail operations of Lender, except for other
arbitration programs entered into by the parties after August
1,1996.  In the event more than one arbitration program entered
into by the parties is potentially applicable to a Dispute, the
one most directly related to the Documents or transaction that is
the subject of the Dispute shall control. The provisions of the
Arbitration Program shall survive any termination, amendment, or
expiration of the Documents or relationships of the parties.

verbal request of any person believed by Lender in good faith
to be an authorized representative of Borrower.  Borrower will

and notice of dishonor.  Upon any change in the terms of this
Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party
who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation
maker or endorser, shall be released from liability.  All such
parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for
any length of time) this loan, or release any party or guarantor
or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect
Lender's security interest in the collateral; and take any other
action deemed necessary by Lender without the consent of or
notice to anyone.  All such parties also agree that Lender may
modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other
that the party with whom the modification is made.

PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS NOTE, BORROWER READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE, INCLUDING THE VARIABLE INTEREST RATE

Borrower: Thanksgiving Coffee Company
19100 S. Harbor Drive
Fort Bragg, CA 95437

Lender: Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
Business Lending Division
177 Park Center Plaza 0514-011
San Jose, CA 95113

Date of Note: January 6, 1999

Principal Amount: $601,635.74
                         
*   Promise to Pay. THANKSGIVING COFFEE COMPANY, INC.
    ("Borrower") promises to pay to Wells Fargo Bank, National
    Association ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the
    United States of America, the principal amount of Six Hundred
    One Thousand Six Hundred Thirty Five & 74/100 Dollars
    ($601,635.74), together with interest on the unpaid principal
    balance from January 6, 1999, until paid in full.
*   PAYMENT. Subject to any payment changes resulting from
    changes in the Index, Borrower will pay this loan in
    accordance with the following payment schedule:
*   24 consecutive monthly interest payments, beginning February
    15, 1999, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal
    balances at an interest rate off 2.750 percentage points over
    the index described below; 12 consecutive monthly principal
    payments of $5,013.63 each, beginning February 15, 1999, with
    interest calculated on the unpaid balances at an interest
    rate of 2.750 percentage points over the index described
    below: 12 consecutive monthly principal payments of $8,356.05
    each, beginning February 16, 2000, with interest calculated
    on the unpaid principal balances at an interest rate of 2.750
    percentage points over the index described below; and 1
    principal and interest payment in the initial amount of
    $441,199.68 on January 15, 2001, with interest calculated on
    the unpaid principal balances at an interest rate of 2.750
    percentage points over the index described below. This
    estimated final payment is based on the assumption that all
    payments will be made exactly as scheduled and that the index
    does not change; the actual final payment will be for all
    principal and accrued interest not yet paid, together with
    any other unpaid amounts under this note.

The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/380
basis: that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate


				21<PAGE>
over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal
balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal
balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's
address shown above or at such other place as Lender may
designate in writing. Unless otherwise agreed or required by
applicable law, payments will be applied first to accrued unpaid
interest, then to principal, and any remaining amount to any
unpaid collection costs and late charges.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject
to change from time to time based on changes in an index which is
the Prime Rate (the "Index"). The Prime Rate is a base rate that
the Lender from time to time establishes and which serves as the
basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for
those loans making reference thereto. The Prime Rate is not
necessarily the lowest or best rate at which the lender makes
loans. Each change in the rate of interest shall become effective
on the date each Prime Rate change is announced within the
Lender. Lender will tell Borrower the current index rate upon
Borrower's request. Borrower understands that Lender may make
loans based on other rates as well. The interest rate change will
not occur more often that each time the Index changes. The Index
current is 7.750% per annum. The interest rate or rates to be
applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be more
than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Whenever
increases occur in the interest rate, Lender, at its option, may
do one or more of the following: (a) increase Borrower's payments
to ensure Borrower's loan will pay off by its original final
maturity date, (b) increase Borrower's payments to cover accruing
interest, (c) increase the number of Borrower's payments, and (d)
continue Borrower's payments at the same amount and increase
Borrower's final payment.

PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of
the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not,
unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of
Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments under the
payment schedule. Rather they will reduce the principal balance
due and my result in Borrower making fewer payments.

LATE CHARGE. If payment is 15 days or more late, Borrower will be
charged 5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment or $15.00,
whichever is greater.

DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following
happens: (a) Borrower fails to make any payment when due. (b)
Borrower breaks any promise Borrower has made to Lender, or
Borrower fails to comply with or to perform when due any other
term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or
any agreement related to this Note, or in any other agreement or
loan Borrower has with Lender. (c) Borrower defaults under any
loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales
agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor
or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property


				22<PAGE>
or Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower's
obligations under this Note or any of the Related Documents. (d)
Any representation or statement made or furnished to lender by
Borrower or on Borrower's behalf is false or misleading in any
material respect either now or at the time made or furnished.
((e) Borrower becomes insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any
part of Borrower's property. Borrower makes an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or any proceeding is commenced either by
Borrower or against Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency
laws. (f) Any creditor tries to take any of Borrower's property
on or in which Lender has a lien or security interest. This
includes garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts with Lender.
(g) Any guarantor class any of the other events described in this
default section occurs with respect to any guarantor of this
Note. (h) A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's
financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment
or performance of the indebtedness is impaired. (i) Lender in
good faith deems itself insecure.

LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire
unpaid principal balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid
interest immediately dues, without notice, and the Borrower
will pay that amount. Lender may hire or pay someone else to
help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower also
will pay Lender that amount. This includes, subject to any limits
under applicable law, Lender's attorneys fees and Lender's legal
expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys
fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including
efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction),
appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services.
Borrower also will pay any court costs in addition to all other
sums provided by law. This Note has been delivered to Lender and
accepted by Lender in the State of California. This Note shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of California.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. Borrower grants to Lender a contractual security
interest in, and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and
transfers to Lender all Borrower's right, title and interest in
and to, Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking,
savings, or some other account), including without limitation all
accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower
may open in the future, excluding however all IRA and Keogh
accounts, and all trust accounts for which the grant of a
security interest would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes
Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge of
setoff all sums owning on this Note against any and all such
accounts.

ADDITIONAL PROVISION. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, at no time shall the rate of interest on this Note be
less than two percent (2%) above the highest effective annual
rate of interest rounded upward to the next highest quarter
percent (taking into account any compounding of interest) earned


				23<PAGE>
by Borrower on any time deposit, market rate account or savings
account pledged to Lender as collateral for such amounts.

PAYMENT DATE DEFERRAL. If this loan is not entered on Lender's
books during the month this Note is dated, the due dates of all
scheduled payments shall be deferred one month.

LOAN FEES  - AUTHORIZATION. Borrower shall pay to Lender any and
all fees as specified in the "Disbursement Request and
Authorization" executed by Borrower in connection with this Note.
Such fees are non-refundable and shall be due and payable in full
immediately upon Borrower's execution of this Note.

COLLECTION FROM DEPOSIT ACCOUNT. Borrower authorizes Lender to
collect all payments, including principal, interest, fees,
charges, and other amounts due under this note by charging
Borrower's primary deposit account as specified in the
"Disbursement Request and Authorization" executed by Borrower in
connection with this Note for the full amount thereof, or such
other deposit account of Borrower as Borrower shall designate in
writing. Should there be insufficient funds ins aid account to
pay when due all or any portion of the total amount due from
Borrower to Lender, the full amount of such deficiency shall be
immediately due and payable by Borrower.

ARBITRATION PROGRAM. (a) Binding Arbitration. Upon the demand of
any party, any Dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration
in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Program. A
"Dispute" shall include any action, dispute, claim, or
controversy of any kind, whether in contract or in tort, legal or
equitable, now existing or hereafter arising between the parties
relating in any way to any agreement incorporating this
Arbitration Program, or any related agreements (the "Documents"),
and all past, present, or future loans, transactions, contracts,
agreements, relationships, incidents or injuries of any kind
whatsoever relating to or involving the Business Banking Group or
any successor group or department of Lender.  Any party to this
Arbitration Program may by summary proceedings bring any action
in court or compel arbitration of any Dispute.  Any party who
fails to submit to binding arbitration following a lawful demand
by the opposing party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred
by the opposing party in compelling arbitration of any Dispute.
The parties agree that by engaging in activities with or involving
each other as described above, they are participating in transactions
involving interstate commerce. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT BY THIS
AGREEMENT THEY HAVE DECIDED THAT THEIR DISPUTS SHALL BE RESOLVED
BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, AND ONCE DECIDED BY
ARBITRATION NO DISPUTE CAN LATER BE BROUGHT, FILED OR PURSUED IN
COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY, except under the limited
circumstances provided for herein.

(b) Governing Rules, Preservation of Remedies: Arbitrators. All
Disputes between the parties submitted to arbitration shall be
resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American


				24<PAGE>
Arbitration Association (the "AAA") in accordance with its
Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Federal Arbitration Act
(Title 9 of the United State Code). Judgment upon any award made
hereunder may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any
claim or dispute related to the exercise of any self-help,
auxiliary or other rights under this paragraph shall be a Dispute
hereunder. However, no provision of, nor the exercise of any
rights under, this Arbitration Program shall limit the right of
any party to seek, use, and employ ancillary or preliminary
remedies, judicial or otherwise, for the purposes of (1)
preserving, foreclosing, or obtaining possession of real or
personal property, (2) exercising self-help remedies including
setoff and repossession rights, or (3) obtaining provisional or
ancillary remedies such as injunctive relief, sequestration,
attachment, garnishment, or the appointment of a receiver from a
court having jurisdiction. Such rights can be exercised at any
time, unless contrary to a final award of decision in an
arbitration proceeding, and shall not constitute a waiver of the
arbitration rights of any party. Any party may proceed against
all liable persons, or against any one of them, and may release
or settle with any of them, without impairing rights against
other liable persons. A Dispute involving claims or amounts in
controversy of $5,000,000 or less shall be decided by a single
arbitrator who shall not render an award of greater that
$5,000,000 (including damages, costs, fees and expenses), and
each party expressly waives any right or claim to recover more
than $5,000,000 in such cases. A Dispute involving greater
amounts shall be heard by and decided by a majority vote of a
panel of three arbitrators. Any arbitrator must be a retired
member of the state of federal judiciary or a practicing attorney
experienced and knowledgeable in the substantive laws applicable
to the subject matter of the Dispute. Arbitrator(s) (i) may grant
any remedy or relief within the scope hereof that a court of
competent jurisdiction could, including ancillary relief as is
necessary to make effective any award, (ii) shall have the power
to award recovery of all costs and fees, and (iii) may impose
sanctions and take other actions as they deem necessary to the
same extent a judge could. The determination of the arbitrator(s)
shall be binding on all parties and shall not be subject to
further review or appeal except as otherwise allowed by
applicable law.

(c) Judicial Review: Real Property Collateral: Judicial
Reference. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
any arbitration in which the amount in controversy exceeds
$25,000,000, the arbitrators shall be required to make specific,
written findings of fact and conclusions of law.  In such
arbitrations (A) the arbitrators shall not have the power to make
any award which is not supported by substantial evidence or which is
based on legal error, (B) an award shall not be binding upon the
parties unless the findings of fact are supported by substantial
evidence and the conclusions of law are not erroneous under
applicable substantive law, and (C) the parties shall have in
addition to the grounds referred to in the Federal Arbitration


				25<PAGE>
Act for vacating, modifying or correcting an award, the right to
judicial review of (1) whether the findings of fact rendered by
the arbitrators are supported by substantial evidence, and (2)
whether the conclusions of law are erroneous under applicable
substantive law. Judgment confirming an award in such a
proceeding may be entered only if a court determines the award is
supported by substantial evidence and not based on legal error
under applicable substantive law. Notwithstanding contrary
provisions herein, no Dispute shall be submitted to arbitration
if the Dispute concerns indebtedness secured by real property and
if arbitration of the Dispute would preclude enforcement of a
mortgage, lien or security interest securing such indebtedness,
unless (i) the holder of such mortgage, lien or security interest
specifically elects in writing to proceed with the arbitration,
or (ii) all parties to the arbitration proceeding waive any
rights or benefits that might accrue to them by virtue of any
applicable one action rule statures, thereby agreeing that all
indebtedness and obligations of the parties, and all mortgages,
liens and security interests securing any such indebtedness and
obligations, shall remain fully valid and enforceable. If such a
Dispute is not submitted to arbitration under such circumstances,
the Dispute shall be determined by Judicial Reference at the
election of any Party. If such an election is made, the Dispute
shall be determined by a reference in accordance with California
Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, et seq., or the judicial
reference procedures of some other state if such state in which
the real property is located offers a comparable judicial
reference procedure. A referee shall be selected pursuant to AAA
procedures and must meet the selection criteria set forth herein
for an arbitrator.

(d) Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA,
the arbitrator and the parties shall act to assure that any
arbitration proceeding shall be concluded with 180 days of the
filing of the Dispute with the AAA. Arbitration proceedings
hereunder shall be conducted at a location mutually agreeable to
the parties, or if they cannot agree, then in the state of the
applicable substantive law designated in the Documents relating
to the Dispute at a location selected by the AAA. All discovery
activities shall be expressly limited to matters directly
relevant to the Dispute. No party or arbitrator may disclose the
existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder,
except for disclosures of information required in the ordinary
course of a party's business or by applicable law or regulation.
This Arbitration Program shall be administered and construed in
accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, other applicable
Federal law, and to the extent inapplicable or unenforceable,
other applicable law providing for arbitration. If there is any
inconsistency between the terms hereof and any governing rules or
statutes, the terms hereof shall control.  This Arbitration
Program constitutes the entire agreement of the parties and
supersedes all prior arrangements and other communications on
dispute resolution concerning Disputes relating to the Business
Banking Group or retail operations of Lender, except for other


				26<PAGE>
arbitration programs entered into by the parties after August
1,1996. In the event more than one arbitration program entered
into by the parties is potentially applicable to a Dispute, the
one most directly related to the Documents or transaction that is
the subject of the Dispute shall control. The provisions of the
Arbitration Program shall service any termination, amendment, or
expiration of the Documents or relationships of the parties.

                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
                                
1.  GRANT OF LIMITED LICENSE:  Licensor grants to Licensee and
Licensee accepts the non-transferable, non-assignable right
(without the right to grant sub-licenses) to utilize the
Proprietary Subject Matter solely on or in connection with the
manufacture by Licensee (or an approved third party manufacturer)
of the Licensed Articles and the sale by Licensee of the Licensed
Articles solely in the Licensed Territory during the Term, all as
defined above.

2.  TERM:  The "Term" as defined in Section D.(1) in the Schedule
shall expire on the date set forth in such section unless sooner
terminated as provided herein.  Licensee shall comply with the
exploitation dates set forth in Sections D.(2) and D.(3) of the
Schedule and shall not advertise to the trade or manufacture or
ship Licensed Articles prior to receiving a fully executed copy
of this Agreement.  Licensee shall not advertise, promote or
otherwise market Licensed Articles to the public (or permit any
third party to do so) earlier than the date which is 30 days
prior to the Earliest Selling Date set forth above.

3.  LICENSED TERRITORY:  The "Licensed Territory" is set forth
above.  Licensee agrees that it will not make or authorize other
parties to make any use, direct or indirect, of the Proprietary
Subject Matter in any other geographical area and Licensee will
not knowingly sell Licensed Articles to third parties who intend
or are likely to resell them outside the Licensed Territory, and
will take all necessary precautions against such resale to the
extent permitted by law.

4.  "ROYALTY", STATEMENTS AND PAYMENTS:  Licensee shall pay to
Licensor in U.S. dollars a "Royalty" on Net Sales in the amount
stated above.  "Net Sales" shall mean Licensee's gross sales less
only the sum of actual cash discounts, quantity discounts and
freight discounts and actual returns for damaged or defective
Licensed Articles, the aggregate of such discounts and returns
not to exceed 5% of gross sales during any accounting period.
The Royalty shall be due and payable to Licensor when the
Licensed Articles are sold, shipped, distributed, billed and/or
paid for; whichever comes first.  Royalty statements shall be
prepared in a manner containing quantities sold and the monthly
sales amounts by image and product.  Royalty payments shall be
made within 45 days after the close of each month. Royalty
Statements shall be rendered monthly regardless of whether
Royalties are actually due and payable.  If Licensor does not
receive the applicable Royalty payment on the 20th day after the
close of the preceding month, Licensee shall pay interest with
respect to any Royalties owed to Licensor at the lower of (a) the
maximum rate allowed by law or (b) the rate of 1-1/2% per month,
computed from the original due date until paid.  Neither the
acceptance of any payment or Royalty statement nor the deposit of
any check shall preclude Licensor from questioning the
correctness of such payment or Royalty statement at any time.


				1<PAGE>
Licensee shall keep at its principal place of business accurate
and complete books and records as they relate hereto for the
greater of six years or two years from termination or expiration
of the Term.  On reasonable notice, Licensor or its designee
shall have the right to examine said books and records.  If any
audit discloses that Licensee owes Royalties to Licensee in
excess of 5% of Royalties previously paid, Licensee shall pay the
audit costs.

5.  "ADVANCE":  a non-refundable Advance in the amount stated above
shall be payable to Licensor upon signature of this Agreement by
Licensee.  The Advance shall be applied against the Royalty to be
paid to Licensor during the Term.

6.  "GUARANTEE":  The minimum amount of Royalties, including the
Advance, shall not be less than the Guarantee stated above.  Not
later than 90 days prior to the expiration of the Term, Licensee
shall pay to Licensor an amount equal to that portion of the
Guarantee not previously paid pursuant to Paragraphs 4. and 5.
above.

7.  "COPYRIGHT AND TRADEMARK":
(a) Ownership of Images.  Licensee recognizes the unique value of
the Proprietary Subject Matter and the goodwill associated
therewith and the secondary meaning that the Proprietary Subject
Matter and associated goodwill have acquired in the mind of the
public.  Licensee acknowledges that Licensee's use of the
Proprietary Subject Matter shall not confer or imply a grant of
rights, title or interest in the Proprietary Subject Matter or
goodwill associated therewith and all ownership of copyrights,
trademarks and other rights in the Proprietary Subject Matter and
in all artwork, packaging, copy, literary text, advertising and
promotional materials of any sort utilizing the Proprietary
Subject Matter, including all such materials developed by
Licensee, and the goodwill pertaining thereto ("Copyrighted
Materials"), shall be and at all items remain in the name of
Licensor.  Licensee hereby transfers and assigns such Copyrighted
Materials to Licensor without any further action by any party
hereto.  All Copyrighted Materials shall be prepared by an
employee-for-hire of Licensee under Licensee's sole supervision,
responsibility and monetary obligation.  If third parties who are
not employees of Licensee contribute to the creation of the
Copyrighted Materials, Licensee shall obtain from such third
parties, prior to commencement of work, a full written assignment
of rights so that all right, title and interest in the
Copyrighted Materials, throughout the universe, in perpetuity,
shall vest in Licensor.

(b) Notices.  All Licensed Articles and Copyrighted Materials
shall bear the copyright notice set forth above and the following
trademark notices and any other legal notices which Licensor may
from time to time require.

        (1) The designation (TM) in close proximity to the trademark,
and

				2<PAGE>
	(2) "(TM) designates a trademark of Licensor".

(c) Protection of Copyrights.  Trademarks and Goodwill.  Licensee
agrees to assist Licensor at Licensor's request and expense in
procuring and maintaining the rights to Licensor in the
Proprietary Subject Matter (including trademark and copyright).
In connection therewith, Licensee agrees to execute and/or
deliver to Licensor in such form as Licensor may reasonably
request all instruments necessary to effectuate copyright and
trademark protection or to record Licensee as a registered user
of any trademarks or to cancel such registration.  If Licensee
fails to execute any such instruments, Licensee appoints Licensor
as its attorney-in-fact to do so on Licensee's behalf.  Licensor
makes no warranty or representation that copyright or trademark
protection shall be secured in the Proprietary Subject Matter.
Licensor does represent and warrant, however, that Licensor is
authorized to license the Proprietary Subject Matter to Licensee,
that such license does not conflict with any other license granted
with respect to the Proprietary Subject Matter, and Licensor has
not received any written notice alleging infringement of the
Proprietary Subject Matter on the property rights of others.
Licensee shall inform Licensor if they become aware of any
infringing activity.  Licensor shall control absolutely all
infringement litigation brought against third parties involving
or affecting the Proprietary Subject Matter.

8.  "INDEMNIFICATIONS":

(a) By Licensor.  Licensor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Licensee from and against any final judgments arising solely out
of Licensee's use of the Proprietary Subject Matter as authorized
hereunder, provided that Licensee gives Licensor prompt notice of
all claims or suits relating to such use.  Licensor shall have
the option to undertake and control the defense and settlement of
any such claim or suit and if Licensor fails to undertake such
defense, Licensor shall reimburse Licensee for reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred by Licensee in its defense of such claim
or suit.

(b) By Licensee.  Licensee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Licensor and their respective successors, assigns, affiliates and
co-venturers and all other parties associated with the
Proprietary Subject Matter, and their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents from and against all claims,
damages, losses, liabilities, suits and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with
the Licensed Articles or their manufacture, packaging,
distribution, promotion, sale or exploitation (except with
respect to those matters against which Licensor has agreed to
indemnify Licensee hereunder).  Licensor shall have the right to
defend any such action or proceeding with counsel of their choice
at Licensee's cost and expense.




				3<PAGE>

maintain at its own expense product liability insurance from a
qualified insurance carrier, in the amount set forth in Section
1. of the Schedule for bodily injury and $1,000,000 for property

written approval.  Thereafter, within 30 days following the close

and ship to Licensor, at Licensee's expense, one representative
sample of each Licensed Article together with its packaging to
enable Licensor to determine whether Licensee is maintaining
quality control.  Licensee will permit Licensor at all reasonable
times to inspect the site of production of the Licensed Articles.
Licensee warrants and represents that all Licensed Articles shall
be of merchantable quality, shall not deviate from approved

with all applicable laws and regulations and will observe all
safety standards in the manufacture and sale of the Licensed

Licensor and Licensee is in effect and Licensee is meeting their
obligations Licensor will not enter into another agreement with
another coffee company specifically to market Wyland coffee.

Subject Matter shall not be used in conjunction with any other
licensed name, character, symbol, design, likeness or literary of


				4<PAGE>

packaged for sale or distribution with other articles.  The
Licensed Articles shall be sold and distributed in commercial
quantities and commercially reasonable assortments, sufficient to
meet public demand, at competitive prices, only to jobbers,
wholesalers and distributors for sales and distribution to retail
stores and to retail stores for direct sale to the public, and

assignment for the benefit of its creditors or is adjudicated a
bankrupt, or if a receiver or trustee of all or substantially all
of Licensee's property is appointed, or if Licensee discontinues
its business, this Agreement shall automatically terminate
forthwith without notice to Licensee.

(b) Transfer or Change of Control.  If a substantial portion of
the assets or controlling stock in License's business is sold or
transferred, or if there is substantial change in Licensee's
management, or if Licensee's property is expropriated,
confiscated or nationalized by any government or if any
government assumes de facto control of Licensee's business, in
whole or in part, Licensee must inform Licensor in advance of
such transaction and Licensor will approve or disapprove of
continuation of licensing contract.

(c) Failure to Exploit.  If, during any calendar quarter,

commercially reasonable quantities of any Licensed Articles,
Licensor may terminate this Agreement as to such Licensed
Articles and/or Licensed Territory, either in whole or in part,
by written notice to Licensee.

shall have no further right to exercise the rights licensed
hereunder or otherwise acquired in relation to this Agreement.

manufacture, sale and/or distribution upon expiration or
termination of this Agreement will result in immediate
irreparable damage to Licensor for which there is no adequate
remedy of law, and in the event of such failure by Licensee,
Wyland Galleries shall be entitled to injunctive relief.
Licensor shall be entitled to recover from Licensee, in addition
to any other remedies in the event of default, reasonable
attorneys' fees, costs and expenses, including collection agency
fees incurred by Licensor in the enforcement of the provisions
hereof.  Licensor exercise of any of the foregoing remedies shall
not operate as a waiver of any other rights or remedies which
Licensor may have.

have a period of 90 days in which to sell-off previously
manufactured Licensed Articles on a non-exclusive basis, subject

sold to Licensor at Licensee's direct cost of manufacture,
excluding overhead, or Licensee shall destroy the Licensed
Articles and furnish Licensor with a sworn certificate of
destruction.

13. CONFIDENTIALITY:  Licensee acknowledges that in connection
with Licensee's exploitation of the Licensed Articles, Licensee

construed to place the parties in the relationship of partners or
joint venturers and Licensee shall have no power to obligate or
bind Licensor in any manner whatsoever.  Subject only to
Paragraph 8(a) hereof, Licensee acknowledges that it has no
recourse against Licensor as a result of any claims, damages,
suits and/or expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of
or in connection with Licensee's use of the Proprietary Subject
Matter.

this Agreement are personal to Licensee and may not be assigned,

Licensee or by operation of law.  Any purported assignment or
other transfer by Licensee of any rights granted to Licensee
under this Agreement shall be void and of no effect.
